Abstract
We report the case of ninety-three (93) sheep found dead in the Karoo. Sheep carcasses were scattered over an area 1.2 km x 200 m. We report on the forensic investigation of this matter, and particularly mass-herd deaths due to lightning. The differential diagnosis and forensic approach to such mass deaths is provided. The direct and indirect costs of such an incident are discussed. Finally, the myth of post-mortem predation of lightning-struck carcasses is addressed.
